Terms Related to Frame Shift Mutation

• Insertional Activation

  Mutagenesis where the mutation is caused by the introduction of foreign DNA sequences into a gene. This may occur spontaneously in vivo or be experimentally ...

• Ribosomal Frame Shift

  A directed change in translational reading frame that allows the production of a single protein from two or more overlapping genes. The process is programmed ...

• Insertional Mutagenesis

  Mutagenesis where the mutation is caused by the introduction of foreign DNA sequences into a gene. This may occur spontaneously in vivo or be experimentally ...

• Suppressor Mutation

  The restoration of the wild-type phenotype in an organism possessing a mutationally altered genotype. The effects of the mutation may be suppressed by a second ...

• Oligonucleotides

  Polymers made up of a few (2-20) nucleotides. In molecular genetics, they refer to a short sequence synthesized to match a region where a mutation ...

• Translation Polarity

  Decrease in the synthesis of proteins specified by genes distal to the operator and to the site of a nonsense, frameshift, deletion or insertion mutation ...

• Ribosomal Frame Shifts

  A directed change in translational reading frame that allows the production of a single protein from two or more overlapping genes. The process is programmed ...
